How this estimate works

Rectangle: length × width. Triangle: length × width ÷ 2. Circle: π × radius².

Find area from measured shapesA rectangle uses length times width. A triangle uses one half base times height.lengthwidthbase × height ÷ 2rectangle = length × width
A rectangle uses length times width. A triangle uses one half base times height.

Keep length, width, depth, volume, and weight in their labeled units. A weight conversion needs the density of the exact material being ordered.

Before you order

  • Measure each nonoverlapping area or volume.
  • Record the unit printed on the supplier quote.
  • Keep any slope or exclusion notes with the measurement.

Planning estimates can differ from delivered or installed quantities.
